Truck Accidents in Florida 

In 2016 alone, over 41,000 truck accidents took place on Florida roads, many of which led to injuries in the parties involved. Truck drivers within the state are heralded as some of the safest drivers who share our roads due to the amount of training that they receive. Unfortunately, these accidents continue to occur every year due to driver distractions, drunk driving, and drowsy driving when truck drivers put in far too many hours.
